The search is on for a woman police say rolled her car and took off. The woman involved apparently has a warrant out for her arrest and the car she was driving wasn't hers.

The accident happened close to 9:30pm Tuesday night, when 33-year-old Marcy Riley rolled her car while going westbound on State Street at Interstate 215.

Utah Highway Patrol troopers are still trying to figure out why the car rolled over. They're not sure if Riley got distracted or swerved to miss something, and they couldn't ask her because she fled the scene after the accident.
